Recipe – Tzatziki

The secret to thick rich tzatziki is to use Greek yogurt (or if you can’t find it to thicken your own yogurt by straining the yogurt through cheesecloth). One of our team members at Dinner Well Done lived in the Greek section of town and swears that all the best tzatziki is finished with a bit of good olive oil, so we decided to try it and we love it!

Serve this versatile sauce with any dinner that can use a little punch of extra flavour, especially grilled meats.

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
